Once upon a time, there existed a magic box that can give 10 million dollars worth of treasure to anyone and everyone who are able to reach it. While it only gives treasure once per person, it never ran out of it so there was more than enough for everyone.

Unfortunately though, that magic box is located in a secluded mountain up north, far from all civilization.

The legend and location of that box is known far and wide, and the information about it is being shared freely by those who have reached it and claimed their share. This story is about the people who have heard the legend.

I have mentioned some time ago that I started streaming digital art at PocketLive. Unfortunately, while it was indeed fun, it didn’t last and lots of streamers have had to move on. A job loss is indeed terrible, but you have to remember that it’s not the end. It is usually the beginning of something much better.

It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so. — Mark Twain

There’s immeasurable value within Mark Twain’s quote and the lesson is worth repeating. It’s not what you know that gets you in trouble, but it’s the things you think you know but are actually wrong. If you don’t question your assumptions about the world around you, then you might well dig yourself into failure.

It’s always difficult to start something new. It’s usually only when we’re forced into it that we do it, like getting a new job or new responsibilities at work. Unfortunately though, one of the main requirements to getting ahead in life is starting new good habits. Remember that everything we have and earned today is because of everything we’ve done so far.

One main reason why it’s difficult to start something new is because we are creatures of habit. We’re almost always very busy with all the chores and “stuff” we do every day. There’s also the fact that we usually can’t see a future that’s significantly better than what we have today. Think about it, a worker earning $300 a month can’t possibly dream of earning millions a day, right? But it’s possible (many workers-turned-entrepreneurs/executives have done it), and it’s looking at the possibilities that allow people to try for them and achieve more.
